I have read Harry Potter and am a big fan of J.K. Rowling's writing and I had always had this urge to blog **and** to write. So, I started a blog - [2200 Common Era](http://2200ce.blogspot.com).

I've the basic idea of writing a science fiction set in the backdrop of space. I don't know the whole story or to say, I don't have the whole story in my mind.

I decide what should be written next only when I am writing that. So, I want to ask what should I do? Should I build the whole story and then reproduce it in written, or think of story each time I write?
